A Common Lisp jq replacement
Title says it all, I seriously dislike jq 's convoluted, impossible-to-remember ad hoc DSL that instantly joined heaps of misery like CMake and gnuplot in my heart. It should really have been a library with a CLI wrapper around eval in a well-known scripting language like Python.

Introduction to monads in JavaScript
I know, I know, the world does not need yet another introduction to monads (or yet another article complaining that world does not need yet another introduction to monads). So you’ll be glad to know this isn’t one of those, in the sense that it’s not new. I thought I’d write it because, first, monads are worth knowing…

A Rebuttal for Python 3
Zed Shaw, of Learn Python the Hard Way fame, has now written The Case Against Python 3. I’m not involved with core Python development. The only skin I have in this game is that I like Python 3.

What Every C Programmer Should Know About Undefined Behavior #1/3
People occasionally ask why LLVM-compiled code sometimes generates SIGTRAP signals when the optimizer is turned on. After digging in, they find that Clang generated a "ud2" instruction (assuming X86 code) - the same as is generated by __builtin_trap().

Making Games in Lisp with Hypergiant and Chicken Scheme
Hypergiant is a library for CHICKEN Scheme that tries to make it easy to make efficient games. 1 The idea behind it is the belief that games should start with a prototype that should take minimal effort, but these should be extensible to be whatever you want the final product to be. So Hypergiant attempts to find the…

Running Rust on the Rumprun Unikernel
The Rust programming language has been able to run on bare-metal without the standard library for quite some while now. However, most Rust applications depend on the std crate, and therefore still need a full operating system to run.

Implementing a LLVM Micro C compiler in Haskell
In this series, we will explore how to write a compiler for a small subset of C to LLVM in Haskell. Our language, Micro C, is basically a small subset of real C. We'll have basic numeric types, a real bool type, pointers, and structs. At the end of the series, we'll have a beautiful executable, mcc (Micro C…
